Buffalo Trace Releases Old Charter Oak Canadian Oak
Buffalo Trace Distillery has released the third installment in the Old Charter Oak Series, Canadian Oak. The series was launched in late 2018 with the intention of exploring oak tree varietals and their impact on spirit, using barrels obtained from trees grown in different countries, climates, and soil.
For this release, Buffalo Trace obtained barrels from Canada and filled them with its Mash #1, the same mash bill used to make Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and several other bourbons at the distillery.
Aged for 10 years, tasting notes describes Old Charter Canadian Oak as having aromas of “caramel and berries”, with “hints of vanilla and maple syrup” on the palate, followed by a “long finish of oak, chocolate and pepper.”
Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), Old Charter Oak Canadian Oak carries a suggested retail price of $69.99 and will be available in limited quantities beginning in late October.
